Crossword Genius

Also, city attorney is a princess (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andromeda

'princess' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'also city attorney' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'and' (both can mean in addition).
'city' becomes 'rome' (Rome is an example).
'attorney' becomes 'DA' (District Attorney).
'and'+'rome'+'da'='ANDROMEDA'

'is a' is the link.

(Other definitions for andromeda that I've seen before include "Cassiopeia's daughter" , "shrub" , "Adored man on constellation with great spiral nebula" , "Female unfortunately attached to rock" , "Once on the rocks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
